Richwoods Round-Up for Friday June 15th, 2012
There has been a tremendous amount of activity at Richwoods in Frisco.
“As of today, there is a total of 91 homes contracted on in RICHWOODS!!! That is amazing!!! That is all 4 builders combined: Newcastle Homes, Toll Brothers, KHOV and Landon Homes.”
As you can see from the video, things are moving quick!
There are currently 3 completed Models. ( 2 for Landon in Richwoods Place and Richwoods Glen; and KHOV’s in Richwoods Place) The new KHOV model is complete and Kim Stewart will be moving in the model tomorrow! The Newcastle Model is slated for Sheetrock in the next couple days, and the John Landon Signature Series model is about a couple weeks to go. (Story about the models to follow)
There are currently 7 homes for homeowners being built and another 12-15 that have the frame boards up and are waiting in line. All of these homes are Landon’s in the 64’s and some are in the 74’s which are in waiting.
K Hovnanian (KHOV) will start all of their homes in the first phase and plan to close them all by the end of KHOVs fiscal year which is at the end of October. 2 will be specs right now and there will not be a huge discount as usual with specs because they plan on selling both full price.
Newcastle plans to start 2 of their homes next week. And Toll Brothers is up in the air. They have not started either of their two models.

Newcastle Homes in Richwoods is the “sleeper”
Newcastle brings the luxury feel with a Texas look.
When I speak to a completely new buyer about Richwoods, there are the same questions asked that I feel I have perfected the answers:
- Who are the builders?
- What are the prices?
- What are the Lot sizes?
- Who gives the best incentives/deals?
And so on . . .
The most important question is the one that is never asked, “Who is the best builder?”
Now, promoting Richwoods in general, it is my job to give information regarding all of the builders as the same and all are the best right? WRONG!
I am a critic too, just like anyone that walks into a house for the first time. Either it WOWs you or it Confuses you about certain aspects and features that just don’t seem right. Long story short, there is a difference.
Landon and K Hovnanian are Production builders, and Toll Brothers in borderline. These three are at the top of their field when it comes to volume and building a great home. Toll will make more changes, where Landon will, but not as many. Same with KHOV, they will make changes but not as many as Toll. Toll is thousands higher in price, but will allow changes. KHOV is higher than Landon, but includes a little more standard and will do a couple more changes. And I can go on and on and on and on . . .
“THE BEST BUILDER IS YOUR PREFERENCE!”
The Newcastle Kitchen mixes modern with a Texas feel.
Newcastle Home in Richwoods is the ONLY “True” Custom Builder currently. Yes, the other three are semi-custom, but you can have whatever you like with Newcastle! This reason and the fact that many do not know who Newcastle is, are my main reasons they are going to start selling a tremendous amount of homes in the next couple months.
The model that they currently have under construction will blow people’s minds with the couple unique features that you will have to see in the next 45 days.
Not only that, but you also have the attention of one of the owners, Robert Jones, throughout the process and he looks at every home he builds as if it were his own. They make a point to make your home something you are proud of and shows your tastes and personality.
The other huge pluses about Newcastle are they look at traffic patterns and position room in plans that makes sense. They maximize the window space for the most natural lighting and use staircases for not only convenience but privacy as well.
Newcastle isn’t for everyone, but if you like the better things in life and are looking for a new home, be prepared the first time you walk into a Newcastle home because it will be love at first sight!
Currently, Newcastle is the only builder offering a Porte-Cochere in Richwoods.

RICHWOODS in Frisco Total Sales Count as of today
The total number of sales in Richwoods in Frisco (as of today) is at a total of 87!!! So after only 2.5 months, there have been 87 families commit to being a Richwoods resident.
The sales are as follows for each builder:
Landon Homes : 77
Newcastle Homes: 3
K Hovnanian: 6
Toll Brothers: 1
Granted, Landon is selling in all sections and have had a entire month jump on the other builders to sell, but numbers speak.
Newcastles frame on their model is up
And should be finished in the next 45-60 days. They plan to put a lot of specs on the ground as well.
K Hovnanian (KHOV) has only two lots in its first section and 5 lot holds in the next section when the lots open up.
Toll Brothers is quite a mystery to me. I have spoken to many people for months that only want Toll Brothers and from 1 contract and 6 lot holds, that is very odd to me.

Toll Brothers in Richwoods to begin Models on Model Row
Toll Brothers will be the last of the 4 builders in Richwoods Frisco to begin their models, but they definitely do not rank there when I discuss quality, price, standards etc., will buyers on a daily basis.
Toll Brothers is a very unique builder. They serve the Luxury Buyers very well but are not 100% custom. They have so many different ways to build each plan that they are almost in the custom home business with a price comparable to a normal custom.
For example:
In Richwoods, you have 2 production builders, 1 custom builder and one that is a combo . . . Toll. They can get specific quality materials at a much lower price than others only because they can negotiate easier considering the amount that they need.
This allows Toll Brothers in Frisco to be able make a bigger margins than others because the numbers they are looking for are easily obtained.
Toll Brothers knows that their products sell and are okay with selling 2 to 3 to 5 homes a month because it has worked for this long and will continue to work. And they are okay with that because their margins are higher.
What’s my point? It’s simple.
When you buy a Toll, the plan is to retire there. Plain and simple. And who wouldn’t want to do that?!?
Glimpse of what Richwoods will soon look like
As I entered Richwoods in Frisco on Sunday afternoon, I was passed by a father and son that passed me and gave me an idea of what this community will soon be.
I always entered and am trying to envision the $10 million dollar amenity center, how the homes will look in each section with stucco and brick/stone elevation, the placement of parks, etc. But seeing this made me look at Richwoods in another perspective. Instead of a minimum of 8 to 10 cars at each model, the streets will be filled with kids and cars that will gather at a house and create an actual community.
Like across the street at Turnbridge Manor and Hunters Creek, this has been happening for the past 8 to 10 years. Those communities were a big influence on me and my family to contract on a house in Richwoods. Being very family friendly and adding new homes, gated, in the best location to build in Frisco and the $10 million dollar amenity center, it’s just a no brainer.
Seeing more bikes and tricycles will be a pleasure as the large 506 acres of farmland becomes one of the greatest communities in Frisco, Texas. Contact me directly at (469) 733-2723 or e-mail me here if you have any questions regarding the plans for Richwoods or are interested in Landon Homes, Toll Brothers, Newcastle Homes or KHOV information on their plans, pricing or standard features. With 58 contracts total in just two months in this community, you can see that it is not only me that sees the vision and quality of life the community Richwoods will have in store for its home owners.
